Abstract
The Amazon Rainforest, often referred to as the planet's lungs, plays a critical role in global biodiversity and climate regulation. Recent studies highlight the alarming rate of deforestation due to agricultural expansion, logging, and infrastructure development. This research aims to quantify the impact of deforestation on the biodiversity of the Amazon Rainforest. Using satellite imagery and ecological surveys, we analyze species diversity and population dynamics in regions with varying levels of deforestation. Our findings indicate a significant decline in species richness and an increase in invasive species in heavily deforested areas. This study underscores the urgent need for sustainable land management practices to preserve the ecological integrity of the Amazon.
